An electrical connector including a housing having a mating interface and a contact interface configured to receive an end of a flexible printed circuit (FPC) having at least one row of FPC contacts, and contacts received in the housing and extending between the mating interface and the contact interface. Each of the contacts being configured to engage a corresponding one of the FPC contacts. An insert member is received within the housing. The insert member includes individual fingers moving independently with respect to one another, and the insert member is configured to be loaded into the housing to a mated position at which each of the fingers separately engage the FPC.

A stacked jack modular jack assembly is comprised of a multi-port housing, and a plurality of modular jack subassemblies. The jack subassemblies include upper and lower jack housings sandwiching therebetween, a cross-talk shield. The terminal subassembly is substantially Z-shaped, which allows for increased space there below for signal conditioning components. The terminal module also includes a center shield and a lower shield, and an outer shield, all of which are commoned together and grounded. An outer shield substantially surrounds the entire assembly, and is commoned to the other shield members.

A socket for an electronic package includes a cover and a base slidably joined with one another. A cam assembly drives the cover relative to the base between open and closed positions, and a bias element directly contacts the cam assembly to force the cam assembly to a fully open position when the cam assembly is moved from the closed position. The cam assembly is adapted for linear displacement relative to the base when actuated, and the bias element exerts a force on the cam assembly to locate the cover in the open position. The bias element is located between the cover and the base.
